Forensic Investigations

If you suspect fraud or another transgression within your company, swift and discrete action is imperative. Our team of investigative and forensic specialists bring a deep wealth of experience in law enforcement, public practice and regulatory matters. We gather the evidence you need to answer your toughest questions by combining accounting and investigative expertise. Working with you one-on-one, we respond quickly and confidentially to resolve your most sensitive issues.

Disputes, investigations and litigation issues all require sound evidence to build the strongest case possible. Our team of accounting, investigative and IT professionals can find electronic evidence you never even knew existed. By combining technical knowledge and investigative insight, we can recover vital information that is pivotal to your case.

More than 95% of business documentation is generated through computers — yet less than 30% is printed. If you have been reviewing paper records only, you could be missing key evidence and not meeting your legal obligations for due diligence. Using software and investigative techniques recognized by both Canadian and international courts, we track and analyze data from a wide range of digital devices and storage media.

Experience brings certainty to turbulent times. With more than 80 years of combined law enforcement experience and decades more in public practice, our investigative and forensic specialists gather the evidence to address your key concerns.

Approximately 50% of businesses experience workplace fraud or theft in a given year. Beyond the financial damage and risk to your reputation, responding to instances of workplace fraud or theft draws on critical resources, particularly senior personnel, and impacts corporate culture.

Preventing and handling suspected incidents of fraud and theft requires immediate and professional expertise. We work directly with your key personnel to manage your response in a timely and discreet manner by identifying further financial, legal and reputational risks and implementing an appropriate mitigation plan. Our response plan ensures that all relevant evidence is gathered quickly and with discretion. Not only will you understand what happened and who was involved, but why and how to reduce the risk of future incidents.

No matter the scope of the incident, we provide you with a prompt and effective response so you can get back to business with confidence.

Employee misconduct can lead to an increased risk of fraud and litigation, low morale, abuse of authority, lower productivity, a loss of investor confidence and other undesirable outcomes. Not dealing with the issues can, and most often will, make the situation worse.

Despite best efforts to communicate expectations to employees, misconduct does occur. We respond to incidents as they arise, helping you to find solutions and mitigate your risk. We investigate allegations of fraud and theft, harassment, abuse of authority, job non-performance, theft of intellectual property and misuse of computers, among others.

Our approach is integrated with your organization’s unique culture to ensure our presence affirms your values to employees as we work to confirm or deny the allegations, identify the participants, seek to understand the motives for the breach and provide recommendations. We help resolve your immediate challenges and develop an effective organizational response plan to prevent further incidents.

We can also assist you with the development of policies, procedures and practices that will strengthen your internal controls and lower your risk of internal employee misconduct. We’re here to give you the information and insight your organization needs to respond to any circumstance with certainty.
